Review of Lenovo (Raleigh-NC-USA)

I love the computer. I hate: Having to have a Leno...

I love the computer. I hate: Having to have a Lenovo account in addition to my Microsoft account. Too many accounts wanting too much personal info! I hate pop-up notifications and the Lenovo-vantage or whatever TF it's called. I hate not being able to verify updates to the BIOS as legitimate. I hate that Lenovo will pop up a message prompting me to find out about wireless security, and when I click on it, it sends me to some generalized website so if I want to find out about the topic, I have to browse the whole website (P.S., Lenovo: I don't. Lost opportunity for you). I hate the bloatware. I hate that I can't uninstall most of it, even stupid games like Candy Crush Saga. I hate the lack of customer service. I hate that my first Lenovo died within two months. I hate the license agreement that specifies I have to hang on to my "original receipt". REALLY??!? In fact, I hate the license agreement. Read it sometime. Ugh. I hate that Lenovo seems to think I bought the computer to be an advertising target for Lenovo, and not to actually use the machine. Grow up, computer manufacturers, it's not about you. It's about the usability of your product.
